Cheerio Treats

Looking for a quick, easy and unique treat?  I've got just what you need right here!  And if you have kids (or, like me, you just like cereal), chances are you have all the ingredients right at home!  

These are a delicious and fun little snack that can be good for breakfast, snack, or dessert!

No baking required! 





Add sugar and corn syrup in a large saucepan over medium heat.  Boil for one minute and then remove from heat.

Add in peanut butter and vanilla until it's completely smooth.


Add in the cheerios.



Continue to mix until the cheerios are completely mixed in.



Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper and let it cool!





Here's the recipe:
(Makes 2-3 dozen)

1 cup sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 cups cheerios (I used honey nut)

Step 1:
Add sugar and corn syrup to a large saucepan over medium heat.  Bring to boil for one minute and then remove from heat.

Step 2:
Add in the peanut butter and vanilla and stir until it's completely smooth.

Step 3:
Add the Cheerios and mix until the cheerios are all covered.

Step 4:
Drop by spoonful onto wax paper and let it cool completely.



Thanks to Laura for the recipe!
